Good Fortune Immortal Road

Chapter 7: Recapturing the Ghosts

After about half an hour, when the surrounding Yin energy became almost visible to the naked eye, the restless ghosts lurking nearby could no longer hold back and desperately rushed towards Shen Lang.

An Fu, although terrified, prepared to rush forward and fight against these ghosts as he watched so many of them charging towards Shen Lang.

Unfortunately, An Fu's spells were not as proficient as Shen Lang's. He could only swing his peach wood sword randomly to prevent the ghosts from approaching.

As the numerous ghosts surged forward, An Fu became overwhelmed and soon had several wounds on his body. However, he did not retreat and continued to resist stubbornly.

At this moment, a warm feeling welled up in Shen Lang's heart. In his previous life, most people only cared about their own interests, but he never expected that An Fu, whom he had only known for a few days, would disregard his own safety for him.

Without hesitation, Shen Lang lifted his peach wood sword and also rushed forward, using the Empty Abyss Sword Technique to kill the ghosts.

Although it was his first time using it, Shen Lang was not worried. These ghosts were not particularly powerful, and he could easily use them to practice his swordsmanship.

With free sparring partners, Shen Lang naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He used various spells mixed with sword techniques to deal with the ghosts one by one.

After stabilizing the situation, Shen Lang informed An Fu and they both began practicing their spells in actual combat.

As they killed more and more ghosts, their spells and sword techniques became increasingly proficient.

Unfortunately, An Fu's mana was not as abundant as Shen Lang's. After continuously casting spells for half an hour, he started to feel exhausted. Fortunately, with Shen Lang attracting most of the attention, An Fu began to recover his mana.

After the ghosts they killed dissipated, they turned into Yin energy and gathered in this place. The battlefield was filled with a surge of Yin energy, finally attracting even more powerful ghosts.

In the distance, three ghosts quickly approached Shen Lang and An Fu. Shen Lang felt that these three ghosts were much stronger than the others around them.

Shen Lang shouted to remind An Fu to be prepared and continuously attacked, quickly clearing the ghosts around them.

Just as these three ghosts arrived, Shen Lang had just finished clearing the area and was ready to confront them.

After the three ghosts arrived, they did not immediately attack. Instead, they stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Shen Lang and An Fu.

Shen Lang and An Fu stood back to back, cautiously on guard against these three individuals to prevent being ambushed.

The one facing An Fu was a minotaur with two hooves, holding a chain. It was called a Minotaur, an Apex Level ghost.

The two ghosts facing Shen Lang had red hair, green eyes, and blue lips. They had an ugly appearance, with two sharp claws gleaming with cold light. They were called Rakshasas. The other ghost had a fierce face, a tall stature, and a head engulfed in flames. It held a steel fork and was called a Yaksha. These two types of ghosts were naturally powerful, fast-moving, and extremely combative. They were both Apex Level ghosts.

These were the ghosts that Shen Lang wanted. After waiting for so long and causing such a commotion, he finally attracted these individuals.

Shen Lang whispered to An Fu to discuss tactics: "An Fu, you hold back that bull's head, leave the rest to me. Hurry up and subdue that bull's head, then come help me."

An Fu had no better ideas, so he had to listen to Shen Lang's suggestion. After they discussed it, they began to fight separately.

An Fu shouted loudly to create a strong momentum, then rushed towards the bull's head with a peach wood sword, fighting together with a ghost.

Shen Lang stared at the two guys in front of him and didn't act rashly like An Fu. The two ghosts also stared at Shen Lang, and the two sides were deadlocked like this.

On the other side, the bull's head fought against An Fu. An Fu used his half-familiar empty-ming swordsmanship and Yin Fire curse to constantly attack the bull's head, but the bull's head had thick skin and fought against An Fu despite the continuous damage.

The yaksha couldn't hold back and attacked Shen Lang first, waving his steel fork and pouncing towards Shen Lang. Seeing that the yaksha made a move, the rakshasa also didn't want to be weak and swung its claws towards Shen Lang's head.

Shen Lang quickly dodged the attacks of the two ghosts using the Ghost Shadow Body Technique, while counterattacking with two Yin Fire curses.

The yaksha stepped forward with big strides, directly opening its mouth and swallowing the Yin Fire, while the rakshasa chose to avoid the Yin Fire in front of it.

Seeing the two ghosts advancing and retreating, Shen Lang seized the opportunity and stabbed the yaksha with a sword.

The yaksha sneered, raised its steel fork to meet the peach wood sword, but unexpectedly, Shen Lang's attack was a feint. The sword stabbed and immediately retreated, and Shen Lang quickly used his body technique to circle behind the yaksha.

With a roar of the Yin Wind, the yaksha was stunned. At this moment, the sneak attack of the Netherworld Ghost Hand also arrived, hitting the yaksha heavily on its back and directly knocking it down.

Shen Lang's plan succeeded, and in such a good opportunity, he naturally had to quickly subdue the yaksha. Just as he was about to use the Soul-capturing Bell to make the yaksha lose consciousness first...

The rakshasa beside him didn't give Shen Lang a chance and quickly engaged him, not giving Shen Lang time to ring the Soul-capturing Bell.

Cursing his bad luck, Shen Lang continued to fight with the rakshasa, while the physically strong yaksha, although it was attacked by surprise, quickly recovered and joined the rakshasa in surrounding Shen Lang.

On the other side, An Fu and the bull's head were also in a fierce battle. However, An Fu was already starting to pant. After fighting for half a day earlier and now fighting against the powerful bull's head for another half a day, An Fu would be in danger if the battle couldn't be ended quickly.

Shen Lang wanted to try the same trick again, first injuring and subduing one of them, but the cunning rakshasa didn't let Shen Lang succeed.

Seeing that Shen Lang wanted to lure the yaksha into a trap, the rakshasa on the other side let out a ghostly scream as a warning.

Having received the signal, the yaksha became smarter this time and didn't impulsively fight Shen Lang head-on. Instead, it started to steadily wear him down, occasionally using spells to harass Shen Lang.

Seeing the prolonged battle, Shen Lang suddenly had an idea. Taking advantage of the chaos of the fight, he slowly approached An Fu and the bull's head.

Suddenly, Shen Lang attacked the rakshasa and the yaksha recklessly, casting spells quickly from his hands towards the two ghosts.

The rakshasa thought that Shen Lang had run out of tricks and didn't take it seriously, continuing to dodge the attacks.

At this moment, Shen Lang accelerated and instantly appeared between An Fu and Niu Tou, startling Niu Tou.

An Fu and Shen Lang then cooperated seamlessly to cast spells. Shen Lang unleashed a chilling wind roar, followed by An Fu's Yin Fire Curse. Then Shen Lang used Ghost Claw, causing Niu Tou to be instantly severely injured and fall to the ground.

Seeing this opportunity, An Fu immediately rang the Soul-capturing Bell. Niu Tou gradually became disoriented and confused. Without wasting any time, An Fu began drawing the Ghost-controlling Talisman.

The Yaksha and Rakshasa ghosts, realizing the situation was unfavorable, tried to stop An Fu. However, Shen Lang intercepted the two ghosts, preventing them from disturbing An Fu.

Soon, An Fu successfully completed drawing his own power talisman and began preparing to control Niu Tou.

Facing the Ghost-controlling Talisman, the heavily injured Niu Tou had no resistance and was subdued.

After successfully reclaiming Niu Tou, An Fu was about to go help Shen Lang subdue the two ghosts when he heard Shen Lang shout, "An Fu, restore your mana first. I can still hold them off."

Seeing that Shen Lang was helpless against the two ghosts, An Fu also knew that his remaining mana was limited and he needed to quickly restore it in order to assist.

The two ghosts, seeing that An Fu did not come to help, breathed a sigh of relief and intensified their attacks on Shen Lang. For a moment, Shen Lang began to struggle.

However, Shen Lang managed to withstand the attacks of the two ghosts. Although it was difficult, it was impossible for the two ghosts to defeat Shen Lang in a short period of time.

As Shen Lang gradually gained the upper hand in the resistance, the Peachwood Sword in his hand displayed a more and more formidable Empty Bright Sword Technique. Occasionally, he even counterattacked a few times.

Shen Lang also found a connection with this sword technique. As he continuously displayed the sword technique, he developed his own unique understanding of it.

At this moment, the Seed of Good Fortune in his sea of consciousness activated again, directly transmitting a new version of the Empty Bright Sword Technique. The moves were more concise but also more elusive and aimed specifically at the enemy's weaknesses.

Shen Lang couldn't help but feel delighted. He didn't expect that even the sword technique could be improved. The Seed of Good Fortune was truly amazing.

There was no time to dwell on these matters. Shen Lang immediately used the new sword technique, although it was a bit rushed and he was being pressed by the two ghosts.

But as time dragged on, Shen Lang became more proficient with the new sword technique, and the pressure on the two ghosts continued to increase.

An Fu, who was on the side, was almost fully restored in terms of mana. The two ghosts couldn't help but start to panic.

Seeing that the situation was about to be reversed, the Rakshasa let out a few howls. The Yaksha understood and desperately held Shen Lang back, while the Rakshasa took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on An Fu.

Of course, Shen Lang wouldn't let the Rakshasa succeed. He first used an enhanced version of the Yin Fire Curse to drive away the Yaksha, then activated the Ghost Shadow Body Technique and quickly rushed towards An Fu.

At this moment, the Rakshasa rushing towards An Fu didn't attack An Fu directly. Instead, it turned around and let out a ghostly roar towards Shen Lang, instantly causing Shen Lang's eardrums to feel like they were about to burst and his mind to become slightly confused.

Seeing that the sneak attack was successful and Shen Lang was in a dazed state, the Rakshasa's claws were about to grab at Shen Lang.

As Shen Lang was about to meet his demise in the Yellow Springs, the Seed of Good Fortune in his sea of consciousness suddenly emitted a brilliant light, illuminating his entire sea of consciousness. Shen Lang quickly regained his clarity and struck the approaching Rakshasa with a Yin Fire Curse.

The Rakshasa didn't expect Shen Lang to regain his clarity and was unable to dodge in time, taking a solid hit.

What a great opportunity!

Seeing that the Rakshasa had been hit by his attack, Shen Lang didn't hold back and followed up with another Yin Fire Curse, followed by a Yin Wind Roar. The Rakshasa immediately fell to the ground. However, Shen Lang wasn't going to let his guard down and added a Netherworld Ghost Claw.

Now the Rakshasa was seriously injured and unable to continue fighting. The Yaksha, seeing its companion fall, didn't run away but let out a ghostly roar. The surrounding Yin energy poured into the Yaksha's body, causing the flames on its head to burn even more fiercely. It opened its blood-filled mouth and charged towards Shen Lang, howling.

At this moment, An Fu had also fully recovered. Seeing the Yaksha charging towards them with great momentum, he immediately cast a Yin Fire Curse. Shen Lang took advantage of this moment to ring the Soul-capturing Bell, temporarily controlling the Rakshasa.

An Fu rushed forward to block the Yaksha, while Shen Lang quickly drew the Ghost Talisman taught by the Seed of Good Fortune. The complex pattern of the talisman was also more powerful.

Moreover, Shen Lang had already mastered it proficiently and was able to draw it successfully in an instant, directly striking the Rakshasa's brain.

The Yaksha, who had absorbed a large amount of Yin energy, became even more fierce in battle, forcing An Fu to retreat repeatedly. It seemed like he couldn't hold on any longer.

Shen Lang shouted and rushed forward, standing in front of An Fu, relieving the Yaksha's attack.

An Fu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that the Rakshasa had been recaptured and that both of them were in good condition, the Yaksha began to consider retreating.

However, Shen Lang wouldn't let the opportunity slip away. Both the Rakshasa and the Yaksha were the most apex-level ghost spirits at the Supreme Grade level. If he missed this chance, he didn't know if he would encounter such supreme-grade ghost spirits again.

He made up his mind to take down this Yaksha to enhance his strength and wouldn't let it escape.

As the main attacker, Shen Lang firmly held back the Yaksha's attempt to escape, while An Fu seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack with his spells.

For a while, the two of them chased the Yaksha, making it scurry around with its head down. The Yaksha, unwilling to be captured, prepared to launch its strongest attack, swinging the large iron fork in its hand towards the two of them.

Shen Lang and An Fu didn't directly confront it, with one evading the Yaksha's attack head-on while the other maneuvered behind the Yaksha to launch a sneak attack.

After a battle of attrition that lasted half an hour, the Yaksha finally fell.

However, as Shen Lang looked at the fallen Yaksha, he hesitated. Should he recapture it himself or give it to An Fu?

Seemingly sensing Shen Lang's hesitation, An Fu spoke first, "Brother Lang, you should be the one to recapture this ghost. When we come next time, you can get one for me too. If it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have been able to recapture this Niu Tou."

With An Fu's words, Shen Lang didn't hesitate any longer and recaptured the Yaksha. At the same time, he made a secret decision to bring more celestial ghosts for An Fu in the future.
